Sinus histiocytosis, abbreviated SH, is a common finding in lymph nodes.
It should not be confused with Rosai-Dorfman disease (also known as sinus histiocytosis and massive lymphadenopathy).
General
- Benign.
- Non-specific finding.
- Frequently associated with infections and neoplasia.[1]
- Reported in association with hip replacements.[2]
Gross
- +/-Enlargement of lymph node.[3]
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Sinuses distended with histiocytes - key feature.
- Histocytes: abundant foamy cytoplasm, +/-anthracotic pigment and/or yellow bodies.
- Plasma cells increased.
DDx:
- Rosai-Dorfman disease - histiocytes have a large round nucleus (~2-3x the size of a lymphocyte) with a prominent nucleolus.
- Dermatopathic lymphadenopathy - histiocytes have (melanin) pigment.
- Lymph node metastasis - usually not difficult to exclude, esp. if one compares the germinal center macrophages and the primary tumour.
Images
SH - intermed. mag.
SH - high mag.
SH - high mag.
IHC
- CD68 +ve.
- S-100 -ve.
- Pankeratin -ve.
- Used to excluded metastatic carcinoma.
Sign out
- The finding is often ignored; may be signed out as morphologically benign lymph nodes.
